UNBELIVEABLE how hyped i already am for this one!

Just imagine how epic this could become.. starting battles on the ground of a planet, moving into the orbit and turning into a space battle.

Give.
Me.
More.
Footage!

With the official full reveal now less than just 20 minutes away, Game Informer has made their preview live already, which you can read in full here.

Some key information is that Battlefront will not feature dogfights in space but instead these will be confined within the atmosphere of the planet. There was no details on how these will work otherwise. Also, Eurogamer's Aoife Wilson is in Anaheim, California, for the Star Wars Celebration event, and there has interviewed developer DICE about the upcoming shooter. The game does not feature a campaign, instead it features "crafted missions" that are played solo, with a friend via split-screen offline or cooperatively online. Star Wars: Battlefront also has a maximum player count of 40, however, there will be some modes that cap significantly smaller than the bigger modes that cap at 40. You'll also be able to switch between first and third person, customise your characters by choosing gear, weapons and abilities.

The game launches on November 17 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

While we wait for the trailer, here's a few new screens to whet your appetite...

Slightly disappointed that the main game is online only. But it does look amazing and should be thoroughly immersive. Will still be a definite purchase.

No story no purchase.The game looks visually stunning, but the lack of any kind of campaign and only 4 planets is bad.The star Wars fans will eat it up though so they should make good numbers.

The lack of a main/solo story is definitely a bummer, but I'm mostly about playing online with friends nowadays anyway, so I'm still super hyped for this game!

I was looking forward to this release, but as soon as it was announced its online / multiplayer only I lost interest. I was really hoping for a good story or something. I doubt I'll get this now, I don't mind multiplayer but I like it as well as a single player campaign

I love Star Wars, but have never played Battlefront. I see there's no story mode, and i don't really like to play online multiplayer. Is this a game i should still consider, or is multiplayer pretty much it for this game?

So it's like destiny then?

Only Destiny is like destiny dude. ;-)

@bloodsnake007 Great cover art! I'm still hoping for some sort of Collector's Edition, but will pick that up instead if we don't get one.

As the Empire, you must accompany AT-AT walkers as they march towards the Rebel base to destroy it. And as a Rebel, you must do everything you can to stop them.

 

[dboy99]

That Looks amazing. Vader has owned both trailers.

I loved the originals, but haven't been playing games since they came out. I think this game could bring me back to gaming.

I'm not a shooting game player but I will definitely give this game a go. It looks fantastic!
